Again, I am so overwhelmed at the many things I come across on my daily journeys on the interwebs. I am a digital nomad. I am a busy guy. So my blogging suffers and you are denied my wit. my sincerity, and me.
I’ve been relying on micro-blogging and photos to get by, to have something, ANYTHING posted for that day. Its frustrating & embarrassing.
Are you using Twitter or Pownce or Jaiku? Befriend me and lets turn my monologue into a dialog together.
Anniversary Brunch from Video Mojo on Vimeo.
Today, Jenny and I enjoyed our twelfth anniversary by enjoying a cajun brunch and live jazz. I kept it simple with a ham/cheese omelette and she had the shrimp & grits. Afterwards found us on a stroll through the park and to watch Daphne swing and slide.
Jen,
You are all I’ve ever dreamed of as a wife and all I ever needed as a friend. With love & pride,
Chris
Daphne just loves to slide!

There is so much I want/need to share that it is overwelming. Although, after shooting a local art festival for 3 days, and about 6GB worth, I am spent. I’m preparing to go back to the day job today and I am beat. I’m working on a new project for the next month and a new one after that and I can only hope I’ll be ready! Tonight will be low key as I spend quality time with my girls and work on processing the aforementioned photos.
Dance performance at the Magic City Art Connection in downtown Birmingham, Alabama. More photos on Photo Mojo when time allows. This festival is kicking my butt!

Good! I just upgraded from the ATT/HTC 8525 to the ATT/HTC 8925 or the Tilt. Why do you ask? Simple. As much as I loved the 8525, every time I sent a multimedia message (frequently), it accessed the data network to send and then stay connected. I don’t want to spend $39.99 a month for a data plan when there is free wifi everywhere in town. ATT kept charging me and I would call/complain and the charges credited back to me and dropped. Good. They also sent a replacement 8525 to fix the issue except…
The replacement failed the same way and we were back to square one. After two phone calls totaling 3 hrs (not a joke) and 2 weeks, I have a phone upgrade and it is a few steps up from the very nice 8525.
Features included:
I’m starting to use a lot of 3rd party apps that I download to my phone that I’ll cover soon but this phone makes my heart happy even though ATT customer service is the suck.

Once again it is time to head to downtown Birmingham to enjoy fine art, let the kids romp/explore, enjoy delectable food/wine and enjoy musical acts from almost every genre at the Art Connection.
Once again, I am shooting the event and will be there Friday afternoon, and most of Saturday/Sunday.

I’ve been overwhelmed by the amount of weekend events and weekday goings on that I haven’t had a chance to mention them here. Life goes on but not without looking back a little…
The Good
Friday afternoon, we visited the Aldredge Gardens in Hoover and snapped a few photos. Daphne was asleep in the car and not in her usual “take my picture” kind of mood.
Saturday morning was spent hiking Ruffner Mountain with my good friend, Ed and his dog Riley. We went early enough were the only people we saw were headed up while we were coming down. Very brisk and relaxing.
Saturday night, Wonderwife and I hit the kitchen to make Mongolian beef on rice. Take THAT P.F. Chang’s!
WW also fired up her bread maker and we devoured warm, fresh rosemary bread.
On Sunday, we enjoyed a super simple recipe and oh so tasty one at that. Italian flank steak and mashed cannellini beans. Yummo!
DVD is learning how to walk. At almost 8 months old. Seriously. We are not prepared for baby-proofing the house. Yet.

DVD is eating baby food a lot more but enjoys sharing it with us even more.
The Bad:
Of course there were downsides to the weekend: the dog refuses to alert us when she needs to go out and uses the foot of the stairs to the basement as her personal toilet. Bad dog!
The heating element in the dryer craps out.
The brakes in one of our cars needs replacing.
The front porch step has a huge crack in it and is separated from the porch.
Up Next:
This upcoming weekend is PACKED for me. News on that is forthcoming.
